SPECIFICATION forming- ]oart of Letters Patent No. 672,748, dated April 23, 1901.

Application led August 29, 1900l To ttl whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES F. ALLEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Massillon, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio,

provements in Gas-Burners; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de- My invention relates to improvements in gas-burners, and particularly to a burner for using natural gas.

The object of the invention is to provide a multiple burner in which the burners are mounted` so as to be independently removable for cleaning or repairs and are constructed to secure an effective consumption of the gas; and to this end the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a perspective view of a gas-burning apparatus embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Fig, 3 is a cross-section through the frame, supply-pipe, and one of the burners; and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section thereof.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, in which like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, `the numeral 1 represents a supporting-frame composed of end standards 2 and a supporting-bar 3, connecting said standards at their upper ends, and 4 the gas supply or distributing pipe for the burners, supported by the standards below said bar and provided at intervals with jet-orifices 5 for the feed of gas to the burners.

5* designates a valve-controlled coupling on the pipe 4 for the attachment of a hose leading from a house service-pipe.

6 designates a series of independently-removable burners, each of which consists of a burner-head 7 and a heating-chamber 8. The'burner-head 7 is hollow or chambered and comparatively long and narrow and provided in its top with a row of burner-orifices 9 and on the interior below said orifices with serial No. 28,425. (No model.)

a longitudinal spreader rod or wire 10, serving to spread the gas to insure an equal supply to all of said orifices. A hollow rectangular shank 11 projects from the base of the head 55 .and extends downward through a correspondingly-shaped slot l2, one for each ofthe burners, in the bar 2, and at the juncture of the head and shank are formed shoulders 13 to rest upon the bar and support the burner- 6o head in proper position. The lower end of the shan k en ters the heating-chamber 8, which is open at top and of corresponding greater area than said shank to form an intervening space or passage 14 for the inlet of air to be 65 entrained with the gas. The shoulders 13 hold the lower end of the shank 11 elevated above the bottom oi' the chamber, and lugs 15, projecting from the sides of the chamber, support the parts in propell relation. The 7o bottom of the chamber is formed with an opening 16 for the inlet of gas from one of the jetorifices and with a concaved saddle or rest 17 to support said chamber on the pipe 4.

In operation gas is supplied to the burners through the jet orifices 5 and passes up through the opening 16 into the chamber 8 and thence into the shank 11, whence it is supplied to the burner-orifices 9 after having been uniformly spread by the rod or wire 10, 8o In its passage from the chamber into the shank of the burner the gas entrains with it a large proportion of air, which enters the top of the chamber and thence flows downward through the space or passage l5 and 85 then admixes with the gas and passes upinto the burner-head through the shank 11, the gas thus being placed in condition for effective consumption and to prod uce when ignited ahot flame. The burner-head becomes highly oo heated by the flames throughout its entire length and throughout the length of the shank, which latter communicates a portion of its heat to the chamber 8, whereby the e11- tering air and gas are heated and raretied and intimately commingled.

The heating-chamber and burner-head may be removed independently of each other or together, so that access may be conveniently had thereto for cleaning or repairs and for reroo moving any deposit of dirt or carbon from the cooperating jet-orifice 5 in the feed-pipe 4. Any desired number of burners may also be employed by plugging up the jet-orifices communicating with those burners which it is not desired to use. It will thus be seen that the burner is simple in construction, efcient in operation, and aords ready access to all parts. In addition to heating the entering air the construction and arrangement of the heating-chamber 8 and shank 1l elfectually prevent the striking back or burning of the gas at the orice 5 in the supply-pipe.

Changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus fully1 described, rnyinvention, what is claimed as new, and ldesired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a burner,the combination,with a support, and a gas-supply pipe belowA the support andprovided with a feed-orifice, of a burner comprising a burner-head detachably connecrted with the support and provided with a downwardly extending inlet shank, and a heating-chamber receiving the shank and having a saddle to rest upon the pipe andv a feed-orifice, said chamber being free from fastening engagementwith said pipe and supported in position thereon by the said shank, substantially as set forth.

' 2. In a burner,the combination,with a support,and a gas-supply pipe below the support andl provided with a feed-orifice, of aburner comprising a burner-head detachaloly con- 35 nectedwith the support and provided with a downwardly extending inlet shank, and a heating-chamber resting on the pipe and havving a feed-opening in line with the jet-orifice therein, said chamber being open at top toreceive the shank and of larger area than the `same to form an intervening passage for the inlet of air, and formed with lugs extending `across said space and bearing against the shank to hold the chamber supported, substantially as set forth.

3. In a burner, the combination with a supporting-bar having a slot or opening, and a `gas-supply pipe mounted below the same and with algas-inlet adapted to register witlltthe. feed-orifice in said pipe, substantially. asset forth. i

In testimony whereofl I, have hereunto, slet rny handl in presenceofV two su bscribingtwitnesses.
